AbstractBerry, floral, lively
Puglia's Susumaniello made as a sparkling rosé, with acidity balancing its generous fruit.

Winemaker
Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto is an agronomist and farmer. He began moving the family property towards organic agriculture in the 1980s, then explored biodynamics from 2000.

At L'Archetipo he developed a synergistic approach to farming, keeping plant cover and soil life central to the vineyard. His family works with local Puglian varieties, including Primitivo and Susumaniello. Fermentation starts with indigenous yeasts, followed by restrained cellar handling.

Wine
Susumante gives the local Susumaniello grape a sparkling rosé expression, using natural fermentation. Deep pink fruit, floral lift and lively bubbles, with a soft touch followed by lasting freshness.

This is a useful bottle for the whole meal, particularly seafood, fried food or a generous spread of antipasti.

Origin
Castellaneta lies in inland Puglia, where sandstone-derived ground contains sand, gravel and clay-like material. Southern sunshine gives the grapes ripe fruit.
